What they are
Biostimulators are a category of treatments designed to stimulate the skin’s own collagen: gradually, over time, rather than in a single visit. Amy offers two: Radiesse, an injectable made of calcium hydroxylapatite, and PDO threads, dissolvable threads placed beneath the skin.
They share one idea. Instead of an immediate change, a biostimulator works with your body’s own biology, prompting collagen that builds slowly. It’s a longer view, which is exactly why this line begins with a conversation rather than a booking.
A longer view of structure
Biostimulators appeal to people thinking in terms of gradual change: an approach measured in months and planned across visits, rather than one done all at once. Whether it fits you, and which treatment makes sense if so, is decided with Amy, your history and your goals in front of her.
Two ways in
The two treatments reach the same idea differently. Radiesse is delivered by injection; PDO threads are placed beneath the skin and dissolve gradually after. They suit different faces and different goals. Amy explains what each involves, plainly, and recommends one, both, or neither based on what’s right for you.
Individualized, with Amy
Nothing in this category is off the shelf. Amy Palacios, FNP, plans and performs every treatment herself at her Harrisburg medspa in the greater Charlotte area. It starts with a consultation, free as always.

Have questions?
What is a biostimulator?
A treatment that works with your body to encourage its own collagen production, gradually rather than all at once. Amy offers two: Radiesse, an injectable, and PDO threads. Which one fits is decided together in a consultation.
How are Radiesse and PDO threads different?
Radiesse is an injectable; PDO threads are placed beneath the skin and dissolve over time. They suit different goals, which is exactly what a consultation is for.
How long does it last?
That depends on the treatment and the person. Amy walks through what to expect before the procedure.
Can I book a biostimulator appointment directly?
Yes. Although this line starts with a consultation, so the right approach can be chosen, the procedure can be performed immediately at your appointment.
Who performs the treatment?
Amy Palacios, FNP, a licensed family nurse practitioner. Every appointment is with Amy herself.
The right fit is just a conversation away.
Every plan is personalized, decided between you and Amy.
